He is a man of his word when it comes to a gentleman's wager . I was
out of town for a few days and returned to find his postal money order for our election bet. I wasn't convinced that it would happen so I sent John the money I "owed" him in advance. It will go to a great cause that might bring a tear to Harry's eye. I'll leave it to John if he wants to fill in the blanks. |

I am a little disappointed we could not get together when I was in his "hood". |

It was a gracious gift to go towards a gift I plan to give an old Army veteran (a few years older than me, anyway). He served two tours in Vietnam, lost his job when his company folded, and is now living with his son and getting only Social Security. He loves shooting, especially my Kimber .45. We go at least every two weeks. He had left his guns, including a Colt M1911, with a son in Washington whose house was broken into. The guns were stolen along with all the other valuable stuff. He needs a gun. I'd been looking at some .45's with him in mind and have settled on the Ruger SR1911, which will run about $675. When I mentioned this to Alex, he immediately offered to help buy the gift, using the proceeds from his bet with Harry. Harry probably would have donated the money anyway...maybe...out of the goodness of his heart. Harry, thanks for coming through on your bet. Alex, thank you too! I've not ordered the gun yet. Waiting to see if the Trump election will cause prices to drop a bit. Lots of dealers really stocked up expecting Hillary to win. |

I am a little disappointed we could not get together when I was in his "hood". I'd love to add a 'great minds think alike' comment, but here's proof they don't. I used to have respect for Harry's liberal views even though I didn't necessarily agree with many of them. I often enjoyed friendly debate but he's gone off the deep end it seems. He makes false claims about people that he doesn't really know, repeating them over and over until he is convinced in his obsessed mind that they are true. I can't deal with that kind of warped and dishonest mentality. It's straight out of the progressive liberal playbook. But it is perfectly ok when your buddy Justan makes "false claims about people he doesn't know," right? Of course, right, because as you have told me, you think those claims are "funny." |

Perhaps a bit of satire based mostly on truth. Don't like it? Don't read it. Prove me wrong on any of the truths I've told about you. -- x |

Personally, I think you've given Harry the benefit of a lot more doubt than he ever deserved. He's been making false claims about people for a long time. |
